Special Edition of The Journal of Ocean Technology: Research from MRC2025

Marine Renewables Canada (MRC) is pleased to present a special edition of The Journal of Ocean Technology, bringing together cutting-edge research from the 2025 Marine Renewables Canada Conference & Exhibition.

This issue highlights the growing momentum of Canada’s marine renewable energy sector, featuring peer-reviewed papers that explore offshore wind, tidal energy, hybrid systems, AI-driven monitoring, and the technologies shaping the path to net zero.

What makes this edition unique is its ability to bridge conference insights with full academic publications – transforming ideas presented on stage into detailed, open-access research that supports industry, policy, and innovation.

From turbine modelling and site characterization to digital tools that enable coexistence and environmental stewardship, the papers in this issue reflect a sector transitioning from research to real-world deployment.

We extend our sincere thanks to the authors, reviewers, and the 2025 Research & Technical Committee for advancing the conversation and helping shape the future of marine renewables.
